The line L passes through the points (-2,3) and (6,9). How do I find the equation of the line that is parallel to L and passes through the point (5,-1)?

  1. Find the gradient of line L. The gradient can be defined as the "change in y" divided by the "change in x". For this situation, the "change in y" would be 9 - 3 = 6. Th...

State the nth term of the following sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19

Start by labelling each term, e.g. 3 is the 1st, 7 is the second etc

Find the difference between each term, in this case +4 so we know our nth term will start with 4n 

Now we substitute in t...

f(x) = 6x³ + 13x² - 4. Use the factor theorem to show that (x+2) is a factor of f(x)

If x+2 is a factor implies x=-2 is a solution

Sub in x=-2 : f(-2) = 6*(-2)³ + 13*(-2)² -4 = 6*-8 +13*4 - 4 = 0

f(-2) = 0 therefore x+2 is a solution
